Exactly, thinking LEGO is organizing leaks is an urban legend, leaks come from retailer catalogue but not under LEGO supervision as resellers must respect the NDA. LEGO is not pushing retailers to publish those pics, they just know that it will happen anyway....

Please read a few pages ago, this list is not official but was a quick paste and copy of my guessing from this website 6867 Loki’s Cosmic Cube Escape will contain Iron Man, Loki and Hawkeye actually

Of course it comes from me, but the purpose was not to declare something, but to put my guess for my readers... Which is what I say in this article...in french Some people should have a closer look when they paste and copy... or at least take a few seconds to read the text around the pics and/or the list of sets... SO, I did put the french text into google translation : Les sets qui sortiront (la liste est confirmée) avec mon estimation du prix de vente maximal et des minifigs potentiellement livrées dans chaque set (qui n’engage que moi) : which gives : Sets that come out (the list is confirmed) with my estimate of the maximum sale price and minifigs potentially delivered in each set (that is only my opinion): so, it confirms, they don't read.

this (the LEGO part) - DON'T Click if you do not want to read heavy spoilers about the movie : http://www.movieweb.com/news/marvels-the-avengers-full-plot-details-revealed came up from this : http://www.brickheroes.com/2012/01/red-skull-sera-dans-the-avengers-et-dans-un-set-lego/ and this : http://www.brickheroes.com/2011/12/super-heroes-2eme-vague-2012-recapitulatif/ Where I was ESTIMATING and GUESSING, as I mention clearly this, but maybe Google Translation does not the job very well, the possible minifigs in every set starting from the official list of minifigs published by LEGO some time ago.... Red Skull will be in the movie, this is confirmed anyway, then he could be in the 6865 - Captain America’s™ Avenging Cycle set together with the Cap

THIS is a great find, thks grogall. Only too bad they did not put real pics of the minifigs instead of those 3D artworks....

Actually all those videos are online on french LEGO website here in products descriptions: http://starwars.lego.com/fr-fr/Products/Default.aspx#9493 http://starwars.lego.com/fr-fr/Products/9495.aspx etc...

Amazon.fr lists those Marvel sets : 6866 – Wolverine Chopper 26.30€ 6867 – Loki’s Cosmic Cube Escape 26.30€ 6868 – Hulk’s Helicarrier Breakout 57.70€ 6869 – Quinjet Aerial Battle 83.30€ 4529 – Ultrabuild Iron Man 14.50€ 4530 – Ultrabuild Hulk 14.50€ 4597 – Ultrabuild Captain America 14.50€

4 minifigs in this set : Weequay Skiff Guard is one of them. Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett & Lando Calrissian are the other three

Pics of this game were available in September already : http://www.hothbricks.com/2011/09/nouveau-jeu-lego-battle-of-hoth/ Click on the pics

Like in the old one, Jabba can barely fit in his own palace, what else to say.... Han in carbonite like drying outside....

It's just because it is not based on this ship but on the one I show here, which is red and accurate then : http://www.hothbricks.com/2011/12/9497-un-republic-starfighter-issu-de-swtor/

tried to enhance a little those pics from this video here --> http://www.lordofthebrick.com/2011/12/lego-lotr-premiers-visuels-preliminaires-de-la-gamme-2012/

Did some enhancing as much as I could : here ---> http://www.hothbricks.com/2011/12/lego-star-wars-2012-la-seconde-vague-devoilee/

this is true, they will jump on it

It will take quite a while before you will see a UCS LOTR set... LEGO is about cars, trucks, ships, planes, spaceships, etc... so they will have to compensate with trees, rocks, horses, trees, rocks, small pieces of walls, trees, rocks.... About characters, they have some room here, tons of them as named ones, and more even as army ones.

I still believe that this range will live through the 2 next movies, not further. Star Wars is much different and cannot be compared, it reached another level through at least two generations of fans. LOTR is before everything some books with a quite huge base of fans, that made it to cinema and then became widely popular. But it is not yet as iconic as SW in terms of cinematography.

I fully agree with that statement And LEGO is about that, recreate the Fantasy of LOTR around the official minifigs will be epic.Helm's Deep will never be a set. But for sure it will be a nice future MOC from some inspired guy with all those official minifigs from dozens of LOTR battle packs.

My 2 cents on this One should not expect too much from this licence, they will not produce 3000 pieces Helm's Deep Battle or UCS Hobbiton.... Like for Super Heroes, characters are the key here. A few trees, a small house, one or two rocks, and that will be all. For Super Heroes, all hours of passionate discussions about "Arkham full UCS huge 5000 pieces set" are just destroyed by a real "small street light and a piece of sidewalk" set....

Nothing here in France either

Acquired this instructions book from Anio. I must admit it is amazing. Nice high definition drawings, good instructions and part list. I am quite impressed by the whole work behind this project.

Looks like a nice sticker to me....

They are fake, not geniune LEGO stuff. The same guy sold tons of C-3PO "Gold and Silver" versions claiming it was some kind of prototype lol dozens of them sold and a lot of customers pissed to get those creepy low quality minifigs.... Edit : I wrote something about 2 x C-3PO I also bought on eBay, same kind of production.... http://www.hothbricks.com/2010/12/des-c3-po-partout/

Very interesting question indeed. I oftenly see here a lot of people saying that they cannot wait anymore to get their hands on some new set and review it. If all those people would open their boxes, we would have dozens of review around for new stuff... Still a lot of reviews happen here, but almost always from the same guys. There is no shame in collecting sealed boxes, even in reselling them, people doing this way should come here and say it...
